Lu Sangjiu realized she still hadn't left the Illusion Realm and couldn't help but try a few more times.
But even though she was clearly awake, she still couldn't get out.
And she soon discovered that not only could she not get out, but her body was also no longer under her control!
Her consciousness was wide awake, able to see everything in the outside world, yet her body was clearly in a comatose state.
How could she describe the feeling? It was as if another soul was shackled to this body, able only to watch, with not an iota of control.
'Why is this happening?'
Lu Sangjiu was completely baffled, right up until a familiar figure appeared.
'...Xie Ningyuan?'
'Oh, no, that's not right. At this point in time, he's still just Jichen, the Buddha Son of the Ten Thousand Buddha Sect.'
She suddenly remembered that in the moment before the giant python self-detonated, Xie Ningyuan had shielded her with his body.
